Using the $4.99 wash gives you these results.

Try to $10.99 super-duper supreme wash and wax

Haven't used any machine wash for a while, hand wash all the time, well, coin-op in the winter.

some of them have the underbody wash for the winter and it is supposed to remove the salt and everything.

If my cars are not too dirty, the touchless washes or just using the power washer at a coin-op works fine.

Or, I've been going to a place called Fine Details on Upper Ottawa. They do an indoor handwash and dry for around $15.

So you Hamiltonians are basically saying if I want a good wash, I have to go UP the mountain for it?

this is a stupid thread. you must be retarded to write on your car in the first place. it scratches the paint when you do that. and when you write on it your going to push the salt and crap onto the paint making it harder to wash it off with only water pressure

writing "wash me" on your car FTL

i like going to the esso touchless wash. it gets rid of most of the crap on the car. you dont need to make the car squeeky clean in the winter as it will just get dirty in a few days. you just need the dirt buildup gone. in the summer i'll go to the esso wash to get all the dirt off then i'd go home and hand wash the car for it to be super clean.

If the car's really bad, this is what I do.

Take it to to coin-op, spray it down the high pressure soap and then water. And then take it over to the touchless car wash. The Tacoma and RSX always come out spic 'n' span.

does it really matter during winter time? cuz even if the touchless car wash cleans it good....you will have salt and all that grime back on the body in less than a day of driving anyway.

i ususally take both the murano and the civic through the car wash during winter and once done...i just drive out and dont check if its a 100% or not.

Coin-Ops always FTW during better weather.

Nice post, you really have manners don't ya? Maybe you can make it even nicer with a **** or **** eh?

Next time, before you open that mouth of yours try looking at the previous posts. Like I said, it already has bad paint.

It has nothing to do with that. It has everything to do with respect. You say swearing won't solve anything but you think calling someone a retard will?

Yes, I complained about it because the roof and trunk of my car were still not clean. Your missing the point. I'm NOT complaining about what I wrote being etched into my paint (it wasn't). I'm complaining because the car was that I paid for didn't do its job. After the lady left, a damp rag took off the "writing" and left no trace on my paint.

So that's my last word on that particular issue.
